Your median is 260.5

Put the number set in order, since there are 10 numbers, take the middle 2 and find their average:

208,210,248,252,257,264,271,278,284,295

257+264=521
521/2 = 260.5

For future reference, if you have an even number of items in the list, the median is the middle number after the set has been put in order
